hibiki

The last time Hibiki showed up on HN there was a lot of discussion about its wonky, custom non-FOSS licence: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30103906 So I'm really happy to see that they settled on the MPL! :) https://github.com/dashborg/hibiki/blob/main/LICENSE

Just released v0.3.2 of Hibiki HTML (lots of new changes and features)! The biggest, from the feedback I got on HN, is that Hibiki HTML is now licensed under the standard MPL v2 (Mozilla Public License v2, OSI approved), and is able to be integrated into any project (free, commercial, or (A)GPL) without any fear over a non-standard license. I've also released a new Bulma UI control library for Hibiki - https://libs.hibikihtml.com/test-bulma.html . It features buttons, tabs, menus, modals, great looking form inputs and controls, and a simple data-table control with built in sorting and pagination! There are also Hibiki HTML library wrappers for rendering markdown and code highlighting. Hibiki HTML is a great middle ground between vanilla HTML and full-on JS frameworks like React or Vue. You can add dynamic functionality, reuseable compo

Well, I'm obviously not a lawyer, but that definitely was not my intent when I said offer "hosted version of Hibiki HTML" :/ . I meant hosted, like offering a service like Netlify, Next.js, or Heroku or as an integrated development experience (not like a CDN). Also it is 100% fine for anyone to use Hibiki on Netlify or Heroku or any generic hosting service. Since it was already confusing, I'll work on clarifying that point specifically in the future. https://github.com/dashborg/hibiki/blob/main/LICENSE , tried to make it clear that any generic hosting was fine, and also 100% free if it is used for internal tools.

One of the best parts of Hibiki is how you can encapsulate functionality easily into libraries (even 3rd party JS like D3). Even if the library requires JavaScript to create, using it looks just like HTML with custom tags. Once more functionality and components are wrapped into Hibiki libraries, writing simple dashboards, forms, and tools will look more and more like simple, clean HTML. Here's a simple example that displays a scatter plot of data: https://tests.hibikihtml.com/test-d3.html (source code here - https://github.com/dashborg/hibiki/blob/main/static/test-d3.... ). The plot is just written as <d3-scatter-plot data="*$.data"></d3-scatter-plot>, data is fetched with "GET https://testapi.hibikihtml.com/api/d3-test"

Hibiki HTML incrementally plugs into any backend, using any template language (even static HTML files) with a single script include. It includes a built-in frontend data model, Vue.js-like rendering, built-in AJAX integration, and a full component/library system. It is also fully scriptable from your backend AJAX handlers. Anything that Hibiki HTML can do on the frontend can be done with a remote handler by returning specially formatted JSON actions. This allows you to write fro
